Starfield is a bit of a mixed bag. I THINK I like it, but let me break down the good and bad and you can see why I'm struggling to figure it out. to be clear, I only just got to the main area and the gang are giving me the sales pitch on their little cult thing. The Good: -It looks pretty good for a Bethesda game, especially the characters. -I like the gun play -The space combat is satisfying as -There is a hint of a sense of adventure. The Not So Good: -I have 0 idea how to play this thing, the tutorials are weak or non existent. I've been in 3 or 4 gun fights right now and still cant tell you if you use cover. -Ditto the ship controls. It taught me how to redirect power, and what offence options to use and when, but not what the systems do beyond shields. -UI is confusing as heck -The inventory system is a mess and makes no sense, heck if you haven't played fallout/Skyrim you'd REALLY struggle with what the hell to do. -The story is pretty weak so far. I hope it gets better but right now its missing any sort of impact.
